Paid AU$120 for a double. This is a decent three-star hotel. Spotlessly clean room. Love the humidifier/ioniser in the room. Decor is somewhat dated, and the bathroom is moulded plastic in a style that evoked thoughts of what hotels in the USSR would have been like. No evidence of previous guests though, which is the most important thing. Don't understand... More

The room was comfortable, clean and more than adequate. breakfast was buffet style, plenty of choice both western and Japanese. The hotel was next door to the... More

Perfect location next to the station, comfortable bed and room, and good value for the money. Their Italian restaurant offered a very good brunch buffet. Wifi was only available in the lobby, which seems standard in Japan. Staff knowledge of English was rather spotty, with only one person fluent. Nara is only about 30 minutes by train from Kyoto, and... More

Although really close to the tracks we couldn't here the trains Really surprised by the size of the room (double smoking) was much bigger than we expected. We arrived... More

We were traveling with the four of us. The hotel is located next to the station. We were looking at the map at the exit of the station while the building where the hotel was located within was standing just to the right of us! The lobby was really grand and lovely decorated. The room is a little small but... More

Booked this hotel based on the good reviews on trip advisor. Doesn't disappoint. Safe and no surprises kind of experience. Room is big and can accommodate 4 twin size beds for my entire family. It is located adjacent to the train station where a huge Lawson supermarket and several restaurants are located. There is a superb udon restaurant there that... More

Rooms are spacious compared to Tokyo standards but ours smelled of stale cigarette smoke. A little mix up upon check in, our prepaid room was not noted as such but was soon rectified when I showed them a copy of the confirmation from Travelocity. We were "sold" an upgraded room with city view for 2,000 yen more. The view was... More

This is the second time in 3 months I stayed here and my second stay reinforced my opion from the first. This is a comfortable hotel with fairly nice rooms.

The Nikko Nara is conveniently located adjacent to the JR Nara Station (still walking distance from the main areas of interest if you don't mind a 20 minute stroll). Standard rooms are a bit basic, a bit worn out, with plastic bathrooms reminiscent of the so-called 'business hotels'. Good in-bathroom amenities, although the towels supply is too limited. Breakfast took... More
